Watch the video below (actually, it's one thing, but it's broken into two videos) a) give a short specific response to one of Frankfurt's assertions in a They Say / I Say format (or something similar; the ideas are more important than the exact phrasing):

"At 4:17 in the video Part 1, F states that __________ . That seems (choose your adjective) to me. For example, in the recent Massachusetts senatorial election, Elizabeth Warren said ________ , which was a subtle attempt to ____________ ."

b) find at least one comment in this section with which to take issue. (If you are one of the first few here, you might have to come back a little later for this part.) Identify to whom you are responding, and be clear about with what you are disagreeing and why.

NOTE #1: If you put in a comment, but it doesn't show up within 10 minutes, please send me an email. There's a tricky SPAM filter that might catch your comment by mistake. I'll be able to find it, but only if you alert me.

NOTE #2: If you get some message that you can't view the video because of your "safety mode," you can change that in your YouTube account. If you struggle with that, please email me.

Even though we're missing school Tuesday and Wednesday, we still need to stay on track with taking the quiz on Thursday.

There will be multiple versions of the quiz in circulation, so it's just luck of the draw as to what questions you get. The format for each is the same:

Question 1 on one version will ask for an example of an argument using inductive reasoning and a short explanation of how it is inductive. On another version, an example of an argument using deductive reasoning and a short explanation of how it is deductive. Questions 2 and 3 are about logical fallacies. You'll be supplied a list of five or six, and you'll be asked to take any two of those and give examples and explanations of each. Question 4 will have a short passage. You'll either be asked to identify a) ethos, pathos, logos, and karios or b) claim, evidence, warrants in it.

Since we won't have time for review, I've given my first pass at an answer key for some of the Logical Fallacy questions in a Google Doc here. You can access it with your school Google Account only. Compare it to the answers you came up with.

If you have any questions about the quiz in general or the Logical Fallacy exercises in particular, post them as comments below. I'll answer them as best as I can, but I wouldn't count on any answers after 9pm.
